50x Posts Publish on my Bigfoot website hitting the milestone
Hi Everyone ,
WA Affiliate Program
So 5 Months ago i started my journey with WA in 11 days it will be the start of 6 months . What a journey it has been . looking back at where i started and not having a clue about any-of this website stuff is a big learning curve for me. but its working slowly but truly working.
But today i have Publish 50 posts on my website and hit the milestone like the platform laid out
So i have two website on the go here at WA
DISCLOSURE:

So If you click on any link and make a purchase, As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. It is also at no additional cost to you to explore these links.
Site 1 has 50 post and did the boot camp videos
The one is : Wild Foot Myths that i just hit 50 post on where i promote from Amazon Camping gear ,Bigfoot Gear ,Books and so much more i have made the 3 sale that amazon wanted along with signing up a few Kindle Unlimited Free Trial i like promoting this a lot because i like to sit and read stories every chance i get when it quiet in my house.
Site 2 has 35 post
The other one is my Affiliate Sights Technology i'm just about to hit 35 post this site i only promote Wealthy Affiliate on i have signed up four people that are not really doing anything but i guess the old saying is true you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
What stages i have done and where i'm going !
- I started with the free account - Did this level for a month to watch all the videos with kyle
- then i moved in to the next Premium level -I did this for a month was a good learning curve.
- I have been a Premium Plus+ level i'm going to work this one till the end of the 6 month
- Then i think its time to open the doors on the 7 month to upgrade to the Premium Plus+ Accelerated where i will finish the year out .
Just cant wait to see where this journey will lead me. but lets not stop here let's look at some branding i did on my journey and what i had to go through.
So Branding
So here is my Bigfoot website logo ! Wild Foot Myths is what i branded
At first watching the videos on the WA platform where a great learning curve for me , But to be full honest this is my 3rd logo that i had to develop out side of the WA recommendations with Canva. But don't get me wrong i use Canava daily but i also intertwine with Deepai and with the two together its amazing. But i think that it looked really bad on me, its going to set me back a year with building trust with people.
Biggest problem i had was I keep running in to copyright issues on this page, With many social media platforms.
Now i have sorted out all the copyright issues with my Bigfoot page and i'm able to promote my website on Facebook, Instagram, and on X i find these 3 help me the most in that space, But i did just start on Reddit, as i found it interesting so we will see where it goes.
These Platforms are the ones that i'm trying the long way to build an audience for free.
So with the wild foot myths website i have built is going awesome and i'm enjoying every minute. That's what brings me to this post hitting the 50 mark milestone so i thought i would share that with everyone.
But also on the other hand my Affiliate Sights Technology website not so much.
So here is my Affiliate website logo ! Affiliate Sights Technology
So when i started building this site on WA things where going great was following the map like it was laid out on WA and like i did for my wild foot myths site so really there shouldn't be a problem boy oh boy ways i wrong about that .
I started building a Facebook page , Instagram page then a page on X and a page on pinterest, this was going to be my 4 platforms i was going to promote on .
So Facebook ,Instragram
For this site was a no go they let me built the page ,Then Facebook let me build and pay for ads about $300 CAN i spent over the course of the 5 months just to have Facebook delete the pages when the ads where done told me that i was going against there privacy policy . Loss time and money and learned a big lesson.
Where it's a good fit for me to promote my affiliate stuff on Pinterest and X i do use the paid parts of these platforms and running formulas each month Now in the 5 month i have driven over 1250 people to WA well from what the charts say still waiting to see a turnover there soon.
Affiliate Marketing Journey
This journey is a blast, Has it low's just like everything and its highs,
But i'll tell you this investment i'm putting out right now is worth every penny and the time too. Joining the Wealthy affiliate platform and learning about the real side of affiliate marketing has put me in to a boat where i cant even keep up to the ideas heck i still have so much to do on this platform its scary still got to build 7 more site for more income stream then move up to the final level but as these two sites are rolling i'm going to embark on more of the training video as i'm sure i have missed so much. as i'm still ranking 76 on google so my next task is to getting that ranking closer to page 1 but i would be happy with it on page 2 lol lets see where i can get to this year
I'm looking forward to the comments on here because one of the best parts i found at wealthy affiliate is the great community of people and support you get.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post
wishing you all great success!!
Shawn

Good morning Shawn,
I'm glad that you are enjoying the Wealthy Affiliate platform, it's a great platform!
I'm sorry about your experience on Facebook, but I'm not surprised. Personally, I would avoid Facebook as they seem to do anything they like! Having said that, sometimes, we just need to test platforms and see what works for us.
I noticed your Bigfoot website is not functioning, you're probably not aware.
Just be careful when using AI for writing when it comes to Internet marketing, as basically, so many people are writing posts that are almost identical. Try make it your own unique experience; then your content will rank much better.
Wishing you all the best in every success.

Hi Roybretton,
Thanks yes it has been a great ride so far.
Yes I agree Facebook is a joke I only have my Bigfoot page on there I use other platforms I found way better.
Oh sorry that it did work for you I have texted it and pull it up on my lab top and my cell phone I also pull it it up on my wife cell and it seem to be running fine now but sorry it didn’t for you . I would love to know what it is doing when you check it . If that’s ok with you .
Yes when I use the AI I go through the whole blog and I rewrite it as I go . For the image I use a deepai and I can write what I want to see .
But thank you so much for your advice and help I appreciate it so much that’s what make WA so special is all the great help and support
Have a wonderful day thanks again
Good morning Shawn,
That's great to hear!
That's great that you have found other platforms that are better than Facebook. I have two Facebook pages, although Facebook closed my account, so although the two pages are live, I can't get to them to edit them!! But that's Facebook for you!
I have taken a screenshot of how I see your website. Incidentally, I'm based in the UK. I hope you are able to get your website sorted out, as you don't want to lose traffic.
I wish you continued success and a fantastic weekend.
Roy
Thx you yes this is the only part I seem to can’t change I bought the theme from Newsbloggerly for and works great on my affiliate website but for whatever reason I have had this like this for two months now and I can’t seem to get it back so I think I’m going to have to buy another theme to see if I can get it changed I have tried everything on my back off every emailed the support to the theme but no reply lol and yet it won’t change . Thats a work in progress I guess but when I look at it gives me what it should look like . Witch is weird
Thank you for letting me know I appreciate it lots
I'm not an expert on the technicalities of WordPress and hosting, etc, but my guess is that it is more likely something that technical support needs to sort out. I have had similar things happen myself in the past. I don't actually use the Wealthy Affiliate hosting for most of my sites, I have a dedicated server. I would try and contact site support again and hopefully you will receive a reply.
Just out of interest, I tried your website on mobile and I still received the same results. I do hope that you are able to get the issue sorted out probably.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Roy
Thanks, I have been chatting with the WA support today wow they are fast i'm still waiting to hear from the theme team and they said that it's working right. they also told me to clear my browser as that could be the problem so i'm going to see now that i just got home.
I do thank you for taking the time out of your day. i'm getting the same thing you are on my cell phone but my laptop and home computer are working right. not sure i was looking at a few new themes today and a few caught my eye so i may just give them a shot .
I truly appreciate your help
i hope you have a fantastic day.
In the best possible way, site support will often say that your website is working fine, when it's not! My guess is that it is a hosting issue rather than a theme issue, time will tell. However, I do hope that you get it sorted out.
It's funny how websites can work on different devices, etc. Over the years, I have experienced problems like yours, Shawn. My Webmaster is in the US and I am here in the UK; we have seen my website work in the US, not here, in the past!
Have a great day.
Roy
Shawn,
You have been really focused. Hope I can follow in your footsteps. Thanks for the behind-the-scenes look at the site you built to promote WA. This let me know that I am not doing enough. Please keep posting. Very inspiring to me and am sure to others.
Andrew
Hi andrew2013,
Thanks for the great comment, and for the very kind words.
Well the footsteps part i have made here are owed to the WA founders and team on here for their support. i followed the path they have laid out for us all here as members.
well to be fully honest there is so much training on here. Sometimes I feel like it is a rabbit hole i can get lost in the whole platform i have had days where i'm like just wanting to do a few hours that day and before i know it, 10 hours have gone by and i feel like i have just sat down and started.
I'm glad you like my Affiliate Sights Technology website i built, To promote WA on
I still need to do so much more work on it. I only have 35 posts published on that site so far and i have to rewrite probably like 15 of them from when i first started 5 months ago. and i feel like I bought the wrong themes so i'm shopping on that part again too . still a lot of work in the process to get that site where i would like to see it.
I'm sure you are doing lots Everyone does things at their own pace ,
I see that you have been here for just over a year. and you even got a few more baggage then i do so i think you have a pretty good idea and i could learn a thing or two from you. so great job on all the baggage's
But
Feel free to follow me here , But the links that i have on WA on my Activity page are to my Wild Foot Myths on social media . i don't have the affiliate ones that you are looking on here.
feel free to follow me if you like too

Hi, Shawn! Thanks for sharing! Congrats! Seems you are doing well and just joined not that long ago :)
Sometimes I think maybe some are not meant to do well with this and I am wasting my time or maybe I never was serious enough.
It is nice to read success stories :) Thanks!
Hi LindaMo,
Thank you yes I really enjoy the platform here .
I feel like I’m doing ok and on the right path but still got a long way to go,
Well you are not wasting your time at all you just need to embrace all the things that WA offers . I know it seem like there is a lot to intake and that there is .
I know it suck to feel like you’re not doing well that is affiliate marketing as a whole. But every day is a new opportunity to make a difference. Sometimes it’s best to start back at the beginning and see what you have missed along the way.
Keep your head up and keep pushing on feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions I would be happy to help if I can
Thanks again have a blessed weekend
I am glad you are :)
Embrace for 7 years? lol. Maybe
I am restarting those now updated trainings! :)
Thank you! Have a nice day to you!
That's awesome, and a big achievement for sure congrats.
you have a great day as well
